Step 1. FRAMING

Frame these appliances as illustrated in Figures
11 or 12. All framing details must allow for a
minimum clearance to combustible framing
members as shown in Table 5 on Page 8.
If the appliance is to be elevated above floor
level, a solid continuous platform must be
constructed below the appliance.
Headers may be in direct contact with the
appliance top spacers but must not be sup-
ported by them or notched to fit around them.
All construction above the appliance must be
self-supporting, DO NOT use the appliance for
structural support.
Side Nailing Flanges
The fireplace should be secured to the fram-
ing at the side(s) of the appliance using the
factory-provided nailing flanges. Install the 8
nailing flanges as shown in Figure 10 using the
existing screws. Position the fireplace within
the framing. When required, the tabs may be
bent 90 degrees by hand or with the assistance
of a hammer. Use wood screws to secure the
nailing flanges to the framing. See Table 5 on
Page 8 for clearances of framing members
to cabinet parts. The nailing flange itself can
directly contact framing.
Floor Nailing Tabs - Secure the fireplace to the
floor as shown in Figure 10.
SDVST Shown (SDVPF - No nailing
flanges on end with glass panel)
Remove these screws and use them
when installing nailing flanges.
Nailing Flanges
Turn nailing tabs down and secure to floor with
8d nails or other appropriate fasteners on both
sides of appliance which do not have viewing
glass panels.
